A New Calling

This past weekend was eventful as my parents, my sisters Jill and Jamie, and Jamie's husband Dave drove up from San Diego to be a part of my new calling in the Church. I was called to be in our Stake High Council and my Dad was able to ordain me a High Priest. Within the Church there's the stigma of being in the "dry council", where every third Sunday you have to endure talks from the Stake. I hope I can avoid that label and give talks that will keep the congregation awake. Regardless, I'm looking forward to serving with the bretheren in the Council and our Stake President. Many of you have been requesting that I post more pictures of the family on this blog and I try to as new pictures are shot and imported into my laptop. I'll be importing pictures from Aimee's trip to Utah soon. I'm glad to have them back after they were gone for two weeks. I don't like being alone in the house. Yes, I'll admit I enjoyed the quiet for the first couple of days, but then I started feeling lonely and starting to miss the noise of three kids in the house. I don't think I want to let Aimee and the kids leave me alone for that long again. A week I can handle, but two weeks is too long.
